Guns N' Roses, the most dangerous band in the world, have confirmed a string of European dates for their 2017 'Not In This Lifetime' tour. The rock and roll superstars will open the run at Slane Castle in Co.Meath, 25 years after first appearing there, on 27th May, as well as stopping off in London, for a show at the city's London Stadium on 16th June.

With more than 30 stadium shows lined up across Europe, as well as further dates in North, the Live Nation produced tour will steamroll into nineteen cities across Europe, including shows scheduled in Paris, Madrid, Vienna, Copenhagen and more. Following the European leg of the tour, the acclaimed band will once again return to North America for even more stadium dates starting on 30 July at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, MN and then move along to 15 more cities across the US and Canada including Denver, Vancouver, Edmonton, Montreal, St. Louis, Miami and more.

The full list of dates can be viewed below, with tickets for all shows on sale from Friday 9th December at 9am. Tickets for Slane Castle are priced from €89.50 incl. booking fee and are available from www.ticketmaster.ie, subject to licence.

Speaking on the announcement, Slane proprietor Lord Henry Mountcharles stated:"We are really thrilled to have one of the most excitIng rock n' roll bands in the world coming back to Slane 25 years after they first played, the same month in 1992 which was critically considered to be one of the best Slane’s ever."

While Lord Henry’s daughter Lady Tamara Conyngham is thrilled by next years headliners: "I’m just so excited that I will finally get the chance to see one of the greats. I missed them the first time round the fact I get a second chance is pretty incredible."

While son Alex recalled the last time Guns N’ Roses visited Slane: “They were massive for us at the time and an amazing act to witness. I remember Axl coming out on stage and the crowd just going bananas. The energy was incredible."

The 'Not In This Lifetime Tour' has sold over two million tickets throughout 2016, while also grossing over $200 million to become the year’s most successful rock tour proving beyond a doubt that the attitude, spirit and influence of both Guns N’ Roses and the rock & roll genre are as strong as ever. The history-making 'Not In This Lifetime Tour', which visited twenty-one cities in less than two months, wrapped the first North America leg last summer before setting its eyes on South America. In South America, the band completely sold out all fifteen dates of the tour, including thirteen stadium dates.
